[opensuse] opensuse11 x86_64 kernel_xen and Dell 2950
by 李瑞江 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I installed opensuse11 x86_64 on a Dell 2950 server, at first, everything goes well. But after I installed Xen via Yast and choose "Xen" from boot menu, the system hangs, and the small LCD on the server shows "CPU 1 IERR" or "CPU 2 IERR" The last line of screen is like this: Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.5.11 (June 4, 2007) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 I have to download kernel-xen 2.6.22 from opensuse 10.3's repo and with the old kernel system can boot. Anyone has the same problem? And any other solution? Thanks! RuijiangLi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Wireless woes w SUSE11 on ThinkPad R50 (2100B wireless)
by Verner Kjærsgaard 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Just installed 11 on my IBM TP. Great! I'll be a major SuSE distro. It'll be a major Linux distro... The system identifies (correctly) the PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adaptor (built in) as eth1. I can configure it using the grey circular ikon in my taskbar (is that Knetworkmanager?), I can configure it using YaST if I so desire. I configure it using ordinary WEP encryption, not very safe but fine for starters. No connect. Never. Ever. The little wheel turns around - and then gives up. I then searched YaST for "networkmanager" and re-installed networkmanager and Knetworkmanager. Same thing, no luck. It bothers and puzzles me that if I swap in Ubuntu 7/8 (have disks with both), the wireless works right away... I don't want to run Ubuntu, I'm a SuSE man....but still. When 10.2 and 10.3 was on the machine, they worked out of the box too. What happened? I've attached (if one can do so, otherwise I'll re-post with more text...) some info from the Networkmanager log. I hope this info is helpfull. As always...thanks a million! -- -------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 www.os-academy.dk +45 56964223

[opensuse] re: installing-to/booting-from pure software raid
by Brian K. White 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Success. Using the 11.0 installer it is actually possible to configure a full software raid setup, install to it, and boot from it, including the initial reboot while still in the install process where yast reboots and resumes automatically, all without doing anything very manual or strange, and all within the installer. The main trick is just what someone else pointed out in an old post someone just recently linked to: When install reaches the main "Installation Settings" screen, Go into "Booting" section. Go to the "Boot Loader Installation" tab. Go into the "Boot Loader Options" button. Un-select "[ ] Write Generic Boot Code to MBR" Back to the previous screen. Select "Boot from Master Boot Record" and un-select all the rest. That fixed several headaches for me at once, 1 - It installed grub in the mbr of disk 0 , which I used to always do by editing grub manually 2 - It resolved the problem of my manual edits to grub.conf not sticking, by: 3 - I no longer need to edit grub.conf because it now puts something good enough in there on it's own. Not quit exactly what I'd like, but good enough. 4 - Similarly, the most important of my manual edits to menu.lst now happens "good enough if not exactly what I'd like" by itself and I no longer have to edit that file either. 5 - Since boxes successfully reboot on their own now, the boot-installed-system option goes from "necessary to install", to merely "very valuable emergency recovery tool" at least for this context. Such a simple fix I could cry. :) -- Brian K.

[opensuse] tar file on desktop
by Chris Arnold 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Using 11.0 with kde 4 and here is 1 thing i do not like with kde4 (i guess it is kde4's fault): if i have a tar file on my desktop, i can no longer right click that tar file and select "extract here". Is this something that will come back as kde4 matures or is that gone for good? Is there any way to get it back now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Unable to install 11.0 on my Genesi Pegasos (inst32 stops booting)
by Lenz Grimmer 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, I have been using and installing openSUSE on x86 for a very long time, this is my first attempt to install it on a Genesi Pegasos box (G1@1GHz, 512MB). I downloaded openSUSE-11.0-DVD-ppc.iso and burned it on a DVD and was able to start booting from it, following the instructions on this Wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/PegasosQuickStart However, the installer never comes up, the little spinning cursor justs stops at some point and the system is frozen (can only be rebooted by a hard reset). This is what I see on the screen, when booting from the DVD: [SNIP] Welcome to SmartFirmware(tm) for bplan Pegasos2 version 1.2 (20040810112413) SmartFirmware(tm) Copyright 1996-2001 by CodeGen, Inc. ALl Rights Reserved. Pegasos BIOS Extensions Copyright 2001-2004 by bplan GmbH. All Rights Reserved. Auto-boot in 3 seconds - press ESC to abort, ENTER to boot: aborted ok boot cd suseboot/inst32 ISO-9660 filesystem: System-ID: "LINUX" Volume-ID: "SU1100.001" Root dir: " " flags=0x2 extent=0x17 size=0x1800 / [SNIP] I also tried to copy the inst32 image into the OpenFirmware directory and booting it from there via a menu entry. Again, it seems to start booting (the spinner is active for a while), but then stops without any helpful hint. I stumbled over the following comment on the PowerDeveloper.org Forums - maybe this is still the case for the final release as well? 'inst32' stopped booting in early 11.0 alpha versions, so I stopped trying it. http://www.powerdeveloper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=10978#10978 Has anybody been able to successfully install 11.0 from the DVD on a Pegasos box? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks!
